Chapter 632: The New King Ascends the Throne
Quaresma stopped the football in the air and then broke through along the wing!
Everyone knows the power of Quaresma. Therefore, the French team's left back Lucas Fernandez immediately came up and stuck on the inside, preventing him from easily breaking through inside.
Quaresma had no intention of cutting in and breaking through. He even moved the football to the outside to facilitate his acceleration.
Then he made a pass. Cristiano Ronaldo in front of the goal has been flanked by the French team's two central defenders one after another after scoring. This time is no exception.
"Don't give him any chance!" France goalkeeper Lloris did not dare to attack and could only stand near the goal line and shouted.
Quaresma's pass is very outside, and it is an external spin ball. If he attacks rashly and misses the ball, there will be an empty goal behind him.
Varane is 1.91 meters tall, Umtiti is only 1.82 meters tall but very strong, and Ronaldo is 1.87 meters tall.
The three big men took off at the same time in the penalty area, but no one hit them. The football passed over the heads of the three of them and landed at the feet of Gerdes at the back point.
Gerdes, who stopped the football with his thigh, planned to shoot directly. He had already raised his foot, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a red figure out of the corner of his eye.
It's Bruno!
When Guedes' swung left foot came down, his shot turned into a pass, and he quickly swept the football back to the center of the penalty area.
………………
When Bruno saw Quaresma's cross, he ran into the penalty area from the midfield at high speed. Even when he ran into the penalty area, he did not slow down until the football was swept over by Guedes, but he still did not slow down!
While running, Bruno's right foot naturally swung up and then dropped, just like running, except that his body was slightly tilted, forming an angle with the ground.
This action clearly told everyone that this was a shot!
The football was hit by Bruno's rapidly swinging legs and flew towards the goal like a cannonball!
At such a close distance, French goalkeeper Lloris tried his best to make his own save, but the football was still one step ahead of him and slipped into the goal between his fingers and the goal post!
The French team's midfielder Kante, who was supposed to be responsible for defending him, has long been left behind by Bruno...
"Knockout!!!"
"My God..."
"A beautiful cooperation in the penalty area, Bruno completed the final fatal blow!"
"A goal was indeed scored. Portugal is taking the lead again!"
"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful goal! Very beautiful!"
"GOLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Incredible game! Portugal took the lead again at the last minute!"
…
Commentators from all over the world shouted in the broadcast booth.
………………
The moment the football rolled into the net, the French fans behind the French team's goal raised their hands. They were not cheering for the goal, but holding their heads with their hands!
Like them, there were the two central defenders of the French team after landing. They witnessed a tragedy unfolding...
When Bruno shot the football into the French team's goal, the French fans behind the goal raised their hands and held their heads, while opposite them, tens of thousands of Portuguese fans jumped from their seats He stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Long live Portugal!"
Even the live broadcast erupted with loud shouts: "The ball is in! The ball is in! In the 88th minute, Portugal 3:2 France!"
"Oh oh oh oh!" the Portuguese fans cheered.
“The goal was scored by Portugal’s number eight Bruno Fernandez!”
…
The Portuguese fans in the stands greatly appreciated the DJ's understanding and expressed their gratitude with cheers.
Amid their unbridled cheers, the French fans seemed very lonely. Most people are still holding their heads in their hands, and some are unwilling to accept this result.
There were only a few minutes left before the end of the game, but they were trailing.
It's not just them, the French players' eyes are obviously dull when looking into the distance, without a focus.
This is a sign of extreme confusion.
The French players were very frustrated at conceding the ball at the last moment and were completely stunned.
Kanter, who was responsible for defending Bruno but lost him at the last moment, even knelt down with tears in his eyes.
This is simply an unforgivable mistake.
………………
After Bruno finished shooting, he looked up and saw the football entering the net. Only then did he confirm that he had scored a goal and once again beat the French team!
He opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag.
Bruno rushed to the camera and shouted at the camera: "Champion! Champion! We are the champion!"
At this moment, he forgot about himself and was not like his usual self.
Then he turned around and hugged Ronaldo who rushed up.
More teammates rushed up and surrounded him in the middle, while others kept jumping toward the crowd from the outside.
They waved their fists to demonstrate to the French fans in the stands.
Faced with this provocation from the Portuguese players, the fans of the French team fell silent collectively.
Opposite them, the Portuguese fans across the entire stadium were cheering in the stands.
In the subsequent game, the French team was completely stunned by the goal. Although some people still wanted to attack, more people were numb. The French team was pulled into two parts. They were out of touch and could not threaten the goal of Portugal.
When the three-minute injury time sign was raised, the Portuguese fans cheered, while the French fans who finally recovered from Bruno's goal booed.
They felt that three minutes of injury time was too little.
………………
As the end of the game approached, the emotions of the French fans became unstable. So the police at the Luzhniki Stadium were highly nervous and kept a close eye on the movements of the French fans, especially those extreme fans who were particularly concerned.
The police have begun to mobilize troops to send more police to the stands where the extreme fans are to maintain order and prevent riots after the game.
The Portuguese fans started a "singing party" and sang the climax of "Campione2000", the theme song of the European Cup jointly held by the Netherlands and Belgium in 2000.
"... Campione, Campione, ole~ole~ole! Campione, Campione, ole~ole~ole~!!"
"... Campione, Campione, ole~ole~ole! Campione, Campione, ole~ole~ole~!!!"
The singing of the Portuguese fans resounded through the night sky of Luzhniki Stadium, inspiring the Portuguese players on the field to fight to the last minute.
The three minutes of injury time passed quickly, and the French striker Giroud stumbled and shot the ball at his feet, but it was ridiculously off.
Mbappe went to the ball boy to ask for the ball, intending to help the Portuguese goalkeeper Patricio put the ball on the small penalty area line to buy time for the team.
But at this moment he heard the referee blow the whistle, followed by the second one, and the third one was no longer audible because the entire Luzhniki Stadium was drowned out by another louder sound.
"We are the champions, Portugal! Portugal is the champion!!"
That was the cheer of Portuguese fans.
………………
"The game is over!!" the Portuguese TV commentator shouted excitedly, "The game is over! Portugal won the 2018 World Cup in Russia! They defeated France 3:2 in the final! This was a wonderful game, Bruno's goal at the last minute helped Portugal win the championship trophy! Congratulations to Portugal! Congratulations to Bruno! Congratulations to Cristiano! Congratulations to every Portuguese player! You are the heroes of the whole of Portugal!"
"The referee blew the whistle to end the game - the game is over! Portugal is the champion! Look at the excitement of the Portuguese fans! At this moment, the Luzhniki Stadium belongs to them!"
"The French team had to accept this bitter result. They once thought they could win, but the situation changed suddenly in the second half, and they were unable to stop Bruno from Portugal. ·Fernandez..."
"The best player of this game should be Bruno Fernandez, who scored two goals and assisted one goal! He is the biggest contributor to Portugal's victory! He is almost certainly the MVP of this game! Although Cristiano's game today was also very good and he scored the key goal to tie the score, he was still slightly inferior to Bruno. "
"Bruno performed very well in this World Cup. After scoring twice again today, his number of goals reached 7, thus surpassing his national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United teammate Harry Kane to enjoy the Golden Boot of this World Cup. "
………………
The three whistles of the referee ignited the emotions of the Portuguese fans in the stands of Luzhniki Stadium. They ended their singing and cheered loudly.
In their cheers, the Portuguese players embraced each other passionately.
Captain Cristiano Ronaldo took off his clothes as soon as the game ended, revealing his muscular upper body, and ran to the Portuguese fans' stands, jumping and waving his jersey.
The Portuguese captain was so excited!
The victory of this game means too much to him.
Before today, although many people in the football world have called him the King of Football, more people still think that he cannot be regarded as the real King of Football because he lacks the most critical honor to become the King of Football - the World Cup champion!
Now, Portugal has successfully won the World Cup, which is equivalent to wearing the crown of the King of Football for him!
Moreover, whether it is today's final or the entire World Cup, Ronaldo's performance is excellent.
In today's game, he scored the key goal to tie the score, leaving hope for Portugal's final reversal.
During the entire World Cup, he tied Kane for second place.
Portuguese fans also understand the significance of this game to Ronaldo. First, some fans close to Ronaldo shouted "King of Football", and such calls became stronger and stronger, spreading to more and more areas, until finally all Portuguese fans shouted such voices.
